Fast bowler Akash Deep continued to knock the wind out of India B’s batting as he followed his four-wicket effort in the first innings with a five-wicket haul in the second, which has given India A a chance to win the first-round match in the Duleep Trophy on the final day.
From 140 for 4, India B were bowled out for just 184 in their second innings, which set India A a target of 275 to win with more than two sessions of play left in the match on Sunday.
Right-arm pacer Akash registered impressive figures of 5 for 56. He had taken 4 for 60 in the first innings and thus finished with an impressive match haul of nine wickets.
